Book of Shadows = ElementsMany Pagan traditions use an elemental system of associations. There are multiple historical descriptions of the elements – from Classical Greek, Hindu, Tibetan, Alchemy, and even Chinese. The majority of them are a circle of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water – with some variation on a central element from Aether, Akasha, Void, Sky, Space, or Spirit; with the exceptions being Japan’s addition of a sixth element, Heaven and China’s Wood, Metal, Fire, Air, with Earth at its center.
